Providing Input to CADTH

Listening to patients is a vital part of CADTH’s work. We recognize that patients have unique knowledge about what it is like to live with a specific disease or medical condition. They can describe advantages and disadvantages of current therapies, which may not be reported in published literature. And they can tell us what they would most value from a new treatment.

We also know that there may be other stakeholders — individuals and organizations — with important insights to contribute to our work.

CADTH has taken steps to capture all of this evidence. We do this in two ways:

Input is solicited at the outset of a project and is usually reserved for patient groups.

Feedback is requested after an initial recommendation or draft report has been produced. Eligibility to provide feedback varies depending on the CADTH product, but it is often open to anyone with an interest in the work.
